As an Arab Muslim, I am mostly impressed at the effort that went into researching various verses in Quran, the understandable Arabic spoken by Mr. Cheadle, and the 'correct' way that he did his prayers. I am used to people not praying correctly and putting in a show for the Camera. Mr. Cheadle was praying correctly. He has researched his role very well.
The movie itself was excellent. The views presented of a more moderate Islam that abhors the violence on civilians and that does not support the more radical version is greatly appreciated. We are the silent majority.
Well done to the team.
AND thanks for a researched movie, and a balanced view.
Thank You.

I put off watching this for a while because of the negative views this film had and because it was made for children, or that is what I thought.
I watched it last night, and I was thrown deep into the movie. This is a very interesting journey of a robot that wants and do become human. The movie is a bit week in the first portion, we are told within the first five minutes what should have been spread-out a bit. The first 10-15 minutes are very important. But after that, the movie really matures into a superb Asimov journey.
The movie portrays the Isaac Asimov feeling to the last drop. I did not know that this is what it was based on, but I am a fan of the late Mr. Asimov's writings, and could recognize the Asimov effect almost immediately. I found that the under-currents and the emotions were superbly portrayed by Robin Williams, this was very challenging given the very limited facial expressions that he could portray as a Robot. I got some more feeling towards Asimov's writing from this movie. Well worth the watch.
Once last note, is that the movie is not Oscar material. "A.I." was a better movie IMHO, but this movie is much better than most of the offerings out there.
This is a serious movie. It contains wonderful character development, romance, humour, and will provoke the mind to think. Taking as such, it will be a wonderful experience.

Historically inaccurate it maybe, but the movie is a definite Hollywood feel-good movie.
Very enjoyable flick. Excellent surround track. Really well done. This is my new demo DVD for my home-theater. Hear the bullets coming from behind you and the sound of distant thunder in the background. This is an acoustic feast.
